1.00 <br /> the southeast corner of the property be eliminated. <br /> The preliminary plan was referred back to the Planning <br /> Board for reconsideration in light of a recently <br /> adopted Planning Department policy relating to <br /> stubouts and reservation of rights-of-way. The <br /> proposal was considered by the Planning Board at its <br /> May 16, 1988 meeting. <br /> The policy will require that a dedicated public right- <br /> of-way be extended to the boundary of a subdivision <br /> when such an extension is justified. Future <br /> development potential and access to surrounding <br /> properties are used to determine if extension of <br /> right-of-way would provide a more efficient land <br /> development pattern. Actual construction of the road <br /> to the property boundary may not be required. <br /> If there is no apparent benefit or reason for a right- <br /> of-way to continue to the adjacent parcel, then no <br /> dedication would be recommended. <br /> The Planning Department recommended that the right-of- <br /> way for Jacobs Trail be continued from the cul-de-sac <br /> to the southeast corner of the property. The <br /> recommendation was based on two factors: <br /> 1. 1-40 was being constructed less than 1/2 mile to <br /> the east of the site. Options for access to <br /> parcels on the east side of Eagles Chase were <br /> limited to the south side of the 1-40 right-of- <br /> way. Access to Ode Turner Road via Jacobs Road <br /> could be an option for the restricted properties. <br /> 2. Immediately south of Eagles Chase was an 80-acre <br /> tract currently zoned R-1. Jacobs Trail could <br /> potentially provide a second access to the <br /> property to prevent all traffic from being <br /> directed to Ode Turner Road, currently the sole <br /> access. <br /> Dedication of the right-of-way will not in itself <br /> assure any particular future road pattern but will <br /> provide opportunities and options in the future. <br /> At its May 16, 1988 meeting, the Planning Board <br /> recommended approval of the preliminary plan with the <br /> extension and dedication (to Orange County) of the 50- <br /> foot right-of-way from the cul-de-sac on Jacobs Trail <br /> to the eastern property line. Actual construction of <br /> Jacobs Trail would terminate in a temporary cul-de-sac <br /> as presently shown. The future extension of Jacobs <br /> Trail would be the responsibility of the adjoining <br /> owner at the time the property to the east is <br /> developed and would require that the right-of-way in <br /> the cul-de-sac (above that required for a 50-foot <br />
